I didn't try to suggest it because HN would probably downvote me to oblivion if I did. I personally, however, think that a quid pro quo is pretty likely - and Republicans would shout this from the rooftops if they had a little more sense in my opinion. Stealing a ton of money, giving a ton to Democrats, potentially helping win an election, and then not investigating or properly punishing the thief is a perfect crime... so, if I am the Dems, I would throw or at least try to get 150+ years in prison Madoff-style at a minimum.

The Republican party has been defunct since 2008. I say this as a republican. Yes, they have local machines in isolated areas, but the party itself is non-existent on a national level, except when they scrape by due people being disaffected by the democrats. The Republicans have not been a true majority party for decades.
You will certainly see certain republicans shouting this, myself included. You will see smaller local groups shout this. But the national party does not really exist
According to MarketWatch, he was the second largest donor to the Democrat Party.
Good for him I guess that Dems did well in the election. Though, I would love an independent probe to ensure there's no quid pro quo.
